New development – instead of placing paper onto found readymade surfaces, such as wall’s, floors, table tops, etc I have begun a set of drawings in which I place the paper onto computational designed laser cut constructions. These seem to be a natural development – linking previous dot drawings with the recent breath drawings. The resulting drawings either need to be developed in tandem with as a separate set of work or conflated as part of the TtWL research project. They could fit the Perfectionism show that I will take part in early 2018. At the moment it is ok not to know, but both sets of work are dealing with touch and surface.
Touching the World Lightly

Duncan – these images provoke a physical response in me, especially the reverse sides – the images as a consequence of the activity. I really enjoy the raised and knotted surfaces, and the way that the paper puckers, pierces and creases.
I have been thinking about the ‘image maker’ in me when I have been working on the last wind drawings and I wonder if it ties in with you working from the laser cut surfaces? I am conscious of image making as well as the other states of surrender and materiality that we have been talking about. I notice that whilst I surrender mark making to the wind – I am also quite purposefully attempting to erase and cover the text that I have planted on the page!
